ANNouncement - new Qortal Core and Qortal UI versions released officially and auto-update for core to 1.5.5 approved! (UI changes to auto-update discussed below)


As mentioned above... there are new versions of both the Qortal Core and the Qortal UI that have been released! You can always check on https://qortal.org for the latest links (I will update the OP as well shortly.).

A few things to make note of...

1. The new UI will NOT auto-update for the time being... we have made a bunch of changes to the UI, including the way the UI auto-updates. So for the current time, only the Qortal Core will auto-update. You will need to update the UI MANUALLY by downloading the installer for your OS and performing the update... until we work out the UI auto-updates and re-enable them.

2. The Qortal Core will always auto-update via a group-signed transaction by the on-chain developer group. That will continue.

3. You may notice the development 'speed' will be picking up here in the near future on both the Core and the UI... this is because of some awesome new contributors who are now helping with the project. We are forever grateful to these new contributors! Any other developers who would like to assist us are always welcome! Remember QORTAL IS A COMPLETELY COMMUNITY-DEVELOPED AND RUN PROJECT AND ANYONE IS FREE TO CONTRIBUTE IN ANY WAY THEY CAN!



On another note, Crowetic Hardware Development, LLC. has been formed, and will start selling the QORTector and QORTable devices in the near future. We are working out some details for payment processing and other little things now, and have the brand new QORTector Gen 2 (SSD and Fan-enabled version) in production now!  Stay tuned, a lot more to come!


We hope everyone is enjoying the continued progress with The Qortal Network!

We are also now working on DATA STORAGE, and NEW COIN SUPPORT in the Trade Portal. A lot of awesome stuff coming SOON!
